Print an entire folder of messages

I save my messages in folders..I would like to print an entire folder
without having to select one message at a time..there are alot of emails in
there and it would be quite time consuming.
thanks

Hello Rick,
Click on the folder
Press Control A to 'Select All'
File/Print or Control P

Iirc, more than one message may print on a given page..

That doesn't actually work. You can go through the steps but only the
first of the selected messages actually prints.

You can tell how much I print messages..though...I selected three and all three printed on the same page..so there must be
something else involved system to system

Were you getting the message headers for each too? Or just the same effect
that printing the message generated by applying Recombine attachments would
give?

FWIW I don't have a printer and can only test with software printers such as
(in particular) Microsoft XPS Document Writer...

Looks like that would work even without having the Reading pane active.
FWIW it looks like you would need the Reading Pane active in order to use
the Print function otherwise but then it would just be printing the first
selected (currently viewed) message as Michael mentioned.

Oh. Are you printing from an Explorer view of those same files? E.g.
using Windows Search?... (Why does windows search throw away my search just
because I change the folder? ; | )... FWIW the W7 Search Results window
does allow multiple sections but I don't see a Print command on it.
However, I suppose I could drag those files to a printer icon (if I had one
<eg>)...

Ok. So now I have Microsoft XPS Document Writer open. Drag the messages
for this thread to it. Lots of encouraging messages... Nope. Message
(per dragged message): /This file cannot be printed. Please try opening
the file with the correct application and printing from there./

Oh. Those were .nws files. If I had found .eml files Outlook could
have printed them for me. (Outlook inexplicably takes over .eml association
by default.) Perhaps it would do what we are wanting? Can Outlook be made
to take over .nws file association too?

From,Sent, To, Subject...for each..

No, not printing from and Explorer view(in WLM)

Outlook(part of Office) and WLM installed on this machine..(eml files are associated with WLM).
- looking at possible file types for Outlook *.eml is not one of the choices in Default Programs thus I am not sure how Outlook
takes over *.eml. The only optiions for Outlook are hol, ibc, ics, msg, vcf, vcs.

I tried several different folders and sets of messages and could still
just get one to print.

What might be a factor is that I don't have a printer available for
direct printing. So I've been printing to a PDF creator. But I tried
two different ones and had the same issue.

Perhaps with a real printer it works differently.

Hi, Winston.

I selected the first 3 from this thread, using <Ctrl>+A. Then I clicked
Print, selected my only printer and Print Range = All. Only one printed -
the third one!

I have only the one computer and only one printer, an HP OfficeJet G55 (10
years old) on a USB connection.

Then I selected the 3 in the next thread, using <Ctrl>+click to select all
3. Again, only the 3rd one printed.

And then I collapsed that thread ("windows live mail") and printed the
highlighted Original Post - which should get the whole thread, I thought.
Only one printed - the first one!

One last try: Highlighted the OP again, told it to print Pages 1-3. Only
the OP printed.

I'll leave it for you Mail gurus to figure it out from here. ;<}
